Does the location matter? I would have expected something like

//GenTable[row[entry/Emphasis = 'Address Offset' and
entry/Emphasis='Physical Address' and entry/Emphasis ... ]]

, but this still doesn't check for 
> @type='bold' 

If @type='bold' has to be true in each case, that would be

//GenTable[row[entry/Emphasis[. = 'Address Offset' and @type='bold] and
entry/Emphasis[.='Physical Address' and @type='bold'] ...]] 

or the condition that at least 4 of these

That's then

//GenTable[count(row[entry/Emphasis[. = 'Address Offset' and @type='bold] or
entry/Emphasis[.='Physical Address' and @type='bold']
or ...] >= 4]

(If I've understood correctly)
